I am a product management expert with 9 years of experience leading engineering teams to build the right thing at the right time. I was previously a consultant, and have worked directly with founders, their investors, executives, and stakeholders at small and mid-sized companies to help them navigate their new software projects and legacy rebuilds. As a direct contributor or advisor on over 60 different software projects spanning multiple market verticals, I have seen the successes and failures of multiple companies building software and can bring that expertise to you in a clear, actionable way.I have experience with many of the non-technical aspects of building the right software, including market, revenue, and cost assessments for new product opportunities, prioritization (how to focus on the right things when everything seems critical), choosing the right methodology and tooling for a project, mentoring product managers, leading engineering teams towards repeated success, producing and maintaining transparency between departments about product priorities and feature development, driving stakeholder consensus, go-to-market strategy, tying active engineering work to company goals, user story writing, documentation, and how to approach building a product department as an executive or founder.I am a great fit to advise and make product strategy, priority, and operating recommendations to any company that builds software to solve problems.
